   I am working on a website and it's my first FTP based one. The main page is currently a flash object but I need the main page to go to a redirect for an 'under construction' page. How would I go about doing this?

   Okay I figured out how to do the upload (I should have been using IE to begin with) but now I'm stuck. How do I get to the admin control panel? I have the FTP folder up and am currently finishing up designing the page I want to pop up. Once I've uploaded the file, how do I make the website redirect to that page? There is an SWF file that is the current main page but I want to avoid it totally. Any tips or advice would be VERY, very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

   He Socrates - so.. (examples here).

   You want page1.html to redirect to page2.html , is that correct?

   Can I ask the file extension of the pages? If it is PHP or ASP, there are easy bits of code you can add to redirect the page after a time limit.

   Or, for a more universal approach, you can use Javascript. Here's an example.
   [code]
   <script type="text/javascript">
   <!--
   window.location = "http://www.YOURSITE.com/YOURPAGE.html"
   //-->
   </script>
   [/code]

   And an even simpler way is a good old "meta refresh":
   [code]<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.YOURSITE.com/YOURPAGE.html" />[/code]

   Oh - and Meta Refresh should be like, your last option. Its the simplest, but it is not great for SEO. Here's more info on it.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh

   Chester, you missed one little bit - you can "time" the redirect in Javascript too!
